I thought they had decided on taxation without representation.

As a US expat you still get to vote for President

True. A US expat isn't a case of taxation without representation.

US taxation without representation does exist though, even if the US likes to sloganeer that it does not. For example, US immigrants and green card holders who are not US citizens pay full US tax on their worldwide income, but get no vote. (On the plus side, they get a free pass when it comes to jury service.)

Yes, but you don't get pass on "selective service". As you point out the US has many examples of paying tax with no or limited representation. This happens for residents in places like Washington DC who have no senators and very limited representation in The House.
